Corrected entry: When Myrtle first buys the dog, it is very small, like a puppy. When they get to her apartment, the dog has grown substantially.

Correction: When we first see the dog in the apartment it's still a small puppy. We then see the dog grown bigger to show that some time has passed.

Factual error: In the opening sequence, as Nick arrives at Tom and Daisy's shore to meet Tom, there are people playing/practicing polo in the background. The ground is undulating where polo must be played on a flat field, both for the ball to roll consistently and for the safety of the riders and ponies.
